'Minions: The Rise of Gru' takes the top spot at July 4th weekend box office with 'Top Gun: Maverick' and 'Jurassic World Dominion' still reaching impressive numbers.
Universal’s release of Illumination’s Minions: The Rise of Gru is looking at record-breaking box office numbers over the Fourth of July weekend. The animated prequel to the hit Despicable Me spinoff series is expected to make $129.2 million over the extended four-day weekend, and $109 million across three days, after an opening day gross of $48 million including $10.75 million from Thursday previews.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Rise of Gru is decimating projections; going into the weekend, the film was expected to open between $65 million and $75 million. In fact, this is the biggest opening for an animated feature since 2019’s Frozen 2, which suggests that audiences for children’s films are finally confident about returning to theaters following encouraging performances by Sing 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and The Bad Guys.
Director Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic is expected to take the number three spot this weekend, with $5.3 million on its second Friday, for an estimated $20 million across three days and a possible $25 million across the extended weekend. By Monday, the film’s running domestic total will stand at $70 million, a healthy enough number for an adult-skewing drama of formidable length. Warner Bros.
